"if you need a tool to communicate privately with your friends and family–even if your chats are boring, mundane, and totally legal–#Signal is the best damn choice I can recommend."
is the conclusion after 6 parts of detailed and well explained code review that starts at https://soatok.blog/2025/02/18/reviewing-the-cryptography-used-by-signal/ by @soatok
(Yes, I read all 6 parts. No, I don't claim to understand more than the basics of cryptography, which is why yes, I have to and do trust the author on their conclusions)
@soatok @jwildeboer I still disagree because it completely ignores @signalapp being #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SinglePrivider, demanding #PII in the form of a #PhoneNumber, being able and willing to restrict functionality based off that and being subject to #CloudAct.
@kkarhan @soatok@furry.engineer @jwildeboer @signalapp what do you use?
@FerdiMagellan @jwildeboer @soatok I use #XMPP+#OMEMO, more specifically, @monocles / #monclesChat & @gajim / #gajim!
https://docs.monocles.eu/apps/chat.app/
@FerdiMagellan @jwildeboer @soatok besides @monocles / #monoclesChat there are various other [github.com] #XMPP servers out there...
